History

• The Alabama Legislature chartered the institution as the East Alabama Male College on February 1, 1856, founding it as a private liberal arts college affiliated with the Methodist Episcopal Church, South.阿拉巴马州议会于 1856 年 2 月 1 日将该校以「东阿拉巴马男子学院」之名特许设立，创办之初是隶属于循道宗美南会的私立文理学院。

• The college came under the guidance of the Methodist Church in 1859, appointing its first president, Reverend William J. Sasnett, and opening that year with a student body of 80 and a faculty of 10.学院于 1859 年转由循道宗监理，首任校长为威廉·J·桑斯内特牧师，同年开学时有学生 80 人、教师 10 人。

• Auburn's early history is tied to the Civil War, since classes were held in Old Main until the college closed for the war and most students and faculty left to enlist.该校早期历史与南北战争紧密相连：课程在「老主楼」开设，直至学院因战争关闭、多数师生离队参军。

• The campus served as a training ground for the Confederate Army during the war and Old Main was used as a hospital for Confederate wounded, the only closure in the school's history.战争期间校园成为南方联盟军的训练场，老主楼被用作收治南方伤兵的医院，该校此后也仅在此时一度关闭。

• A cannon lathe built in Selma and used to bore seven-inch Brooke rifles during the Civil War was presented to Auburn in 1936 by the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company and rests beside Samford Hall.一台南北战争时期在塞尔玛制造、用于镗削 7 英寸布鲁克步枪的火炮车床，于 1936 年由田纳西煤铁铁路公司赠予奥本，现陈列于桑福德楼旁。

• The school reopened in 1866 after the end of the Civil War, its only closure, and in 1872 control of the institution was transferred from the Methodist Church to the State of Alabama for financial reasons.学校于 1866 年南北战争结束后复课，这是其唯一一次停办，1872 年因财政原因由循道宗移交阿拉巴马州政府管理。

• The Reconstruction-era Alabama government placed the school under the Morrill Act as a land-grant institution, the first in the South established separately from the state university, which was the University of Alabama.重建时期的阿拉巴马州政府依《莫里尔法案》将该校定为赠地院校，是南方第一所独立于州立大学（即阿拉巴马大学）之外设立的赠地学校。

• The Morrill grant provided 240,000 acres of federal land to be sold to fund an agricultural and mechanical school, so in 1872 the college was renamed the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Alabama.《莫里尔法案》拨出 24 万英亩联邦土地出售以资助农工学校，故该校 1872 年改名「阿拉巴马农业与机械学院」。

• Under the act's provisions land-grant institutions were to teach military tactics and train officers, and in the late 19th century most students joined the cadet program while each county nominated two cadets to attend free.依该法案赠地院校须教授军事战术并培养军官，19 世纪后期多数学生参加学员队，全州各县可保送两名学员免费就读。

• William Leroy Broun taught both classics and sciences and believed each discipline mattered, shifting the original engineering-and-agriculture curriculum, and in 1892 women were admitted and football became a school sport.威廉·勒鲁瓦·布朗兼授古典学与理科并主张两者并重，改变了早期以工科农科为主的课程，1892 年该校开始招收女生并将橄榄球列为校园运动。

• Football eventually replaced polo as the main campus sport, and in 1899 the college was renamed the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, largely because of Broun's influence, a name informally used since as early as 1896.橄榄球最终取代马球成为主要校园运动，1899 年在布朗的推动下学院更名为「阿拉巴马理工学院」，此名早在 1896 年已被非正式使用。

• On October 1, 1918 nearly all able-bodied male students aged 18 or older voluntarily joined the United States Army, numbering 878 according to API president Charles Thach and forming the academic section of the Student Army Training Corps.1918 年 10 月 1 日几乎全体年满 18 岁的健康男生自愿加入美国陆军，按校长查尔斯·撒奇统计共 878 人，编入学生陆军训练团学术分队。

• These student soldiers received honorable discharges two months later following the Armistice ending World War I, while the vocational section comprised enlisted men sent to Auburn for training in radio and mechanics.这批学生兵在结束一战的停战协定两个月后光荣退役，而职业分队则由被派到奥本接受无线电与机械训练的士兵组成。

• Auburn struggled through the Great Depression, having scrapped an extensive expansion program by then-President Bradford Knapp, with faculty salaries cut drastically and both enrollment and state appropriations decreasing.该校在 1930 年代大萧条中艰难维持，时任校长布拉德福德·纳普不得不中止大规模扩建，教师薪酬大幅削减，招生与州拨款同步下降。

• Facing a 1940 shortage of engineers and scientists, API became an early participant in Engineering, Science and Management War Training, fully funded by the government and coordinated by the Dean of Engineering through concentrated evening classes across Alabama.因 1940 年工程与科学人才短缺，阿拉巴马理工学院成为「工程、科学与管理战时培训」项目的早期参加者，该计划由政府全额资助、工学院院长统筹，在全州开设集中的夜间课程。

• Taken by thousands of adults including many women, these war courses filled civilian ranks of engineers and chemists, and between 1941 and 1945 some 32,000 U.S. troops attended the university in some manner.数以千计的成人（含众多女性）修读这些战时课程，填补了民用工程师与化学家缺口，1941 至 1945 年间约 3.2 万名美军以各种形式在该校受训。

• After World War II, returning veterans using the free education of the GI Bill drove massive growth, and enrollment at the institute more than doubled its pre-war level in the years following the conflict.二战后退役军员凭《军人权利法案》的免费教育入学，带动学校迅猛扩张，战后数年间在校生规模较战时之前翻了一番有余。

• Recognizing it had moved beyond its agricultural and mechanical roots, the Alabama Legislature granted the school university status in 1960 and renamed it Auburn University, a name unofficially used since the 1930s and since Jordan-Hare Stadium opened as Auburn Stadium in 1939.因认识到学校已超越农工本源，阿拉巴马州议会于 1960 年授予其大学地位并改名「奥本大学」，此名自 1930 年代即被非正式使用，乔丹-黑尔体育场 1939 年落成时亦称「奥本体育场」。

• In 1967 the Alabama Legislature chartered an additional campus in Montgomery as a member of the Auburn University system, later known as Auburn University at Montgomery.1967 年阿拉巴马州议会特许在蒙哥马利增设校区，作为奥本大学系统的成员，即后来的奥本大学蒙哥马利分校。

• Racially segregated before 1963, the university began integration in 1964 with the first African-American student Harold A. Franklin, who had to sue for graduate admission and was finally awarded his master's in history in 2020.该校 1963 年前实行种族隔离，1964 年以第一名非裔学生哈罗德·A·富兰克林开启融合，他曾为研究生入学而诉诸法院，直至 2020 年才获颁历史学硕士学位。

• The first degree granted to an African-American was in 1967, and by 2013 African-Americans were 1,828 of the 24,864 undergraduates at 7.35 percent and 49 of 1,192 full-time faculty at 4.1 percent, according to the university's own research office.首个授予非裔的学位在 1967 年，据校方研究办公室统计，2013 年非裔占 24,864 名本科生的 1,828 人即 7.35%，占 1,192 名全职教师的 49 人即 4.1%。

• Auburn raised its Black or African-American faculty share from 4.3 percent in 2003 to 4.7 percent in 2025 after a 2006 settlement of legal challenges over underrepresentation, launched its Critical Conversations speaker series in 2018, and in 2024 eliminated its Office of Inclusion and Diversity to obey Governor Kay Ivey's SB 129 banning DEI programs.2006 年就非裔教师代表性不足的诉讼达成和解后，该校把黑人或非裔教师占比从 2003 年的 4.3% 提高到 2025 年的 4.7%，2018 年创办「关键对话」演讲系列，2024 年则为遵守州长凯·艾维签署的禁止多元公平包容项目的 SB 129 法案而撤销包容与多元化办公室。
